We can be aware of particulars, properties, events, propositions, facts, skills, and qualia. We can also have knowledge of and be conscious of a similar range of objects. We can, furthermore, be ignorant of such objects. Awareness is quite clearly related to knowledge, consciousness, and ignorance. But how? My current research explores answers to this question. See my very short paper 'Awareness' for a quick overview of issues related to this question, and the ways in which the semantics of 'aware' guides our thought on these issues. See my book for an extensive treatment of the relation between the awareness of facts and propositional knowledge. See my joint work with Wes Siscoe on the relation between awareness of facts and ignorance of facts, as well as on degrees of factual awareness.
